Live From Emerald June 18 North Cape & Summer Solstice

[kenjo]

Our mattresses in cabin B710 were manageable but had large dents in them.

No chance of rolling out in rough seas! It will be surprising if they last more than a few months. Our pillows also had a strange "fishy" smell. The cabin steward changed the pillow cases and it was a bit better. What do they use in the laundry? Unlike Shogun's steward ours was excellent so we were lucky.

Not the best Princess cruise we have been on. The cut backs are beginning to show.

hi brassmaster150,

 

no looking cold,

 

That looks like the Lofoten Islands....scenery there is amazing. It was cold for us in the morning in 2015, but warmed up as the day progressed.

Loved the reviews and the pictures on here--so much that we are now booked for next June. Thanks for the inspiration!!!

Hi KYteach

 

To get the most out of this cruise make a plan for each port for the island book local car hire or take local two hour bus tour, plus free shuttle to town,

 

would also buy a good guide book on the fjords we cruised past great views waterfalls, or sites of ww2 battles with out a guide book you would not know what you are looking at.

 

like the U boat pens at Tronheim

Already started working on port plans. Thanks so much for the info!

[Shogun]

Hi If you have any questions just ask, a lot of the ports are two or three hours in land if an early bird great time to grab anything coffee and a window seat and chill.

 

Yours Shogun

ahhhhh the memories!!!!! We will be doing this cruise again...however, we are thinking about going on the Pacific Princess which goes to a couple of other places as well. Of all the cruises we have done, the fjords of Norway was the most magnificent.
